            Bug ID: 888055
           Summary: Newline characters in text flows not obvious enough
                    for translators
           Product: Zanata
           Version: 2.0
         Component: Component-UI
          Severity: medium
          Priority: unspecified
          Reporter: hpeters at redhat.com

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/17.0
Build Identifier: 

Newline characters (\n) within a msgid string are not obvious enough to
translators. At the moment they are only represented by the grey numbers to the
left of the msgid entry which are easily overlooked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open URL provided, row 457
2. Compare newline characters in msgid and msgstr
Actual Results:  
Newline characters (\n) are only represented by the grey numbers next to the
msgid box.

Expected Results:  
Additionally display newline characters (\n) as such within the msgid.

Several translators (including myself) overlooked these "implied" newline
characters, omitted them by accident and caused issues with the resulting
translation being too long for the UI spot it was intended for... So this seems
to be an issue for more people.
